Note: [Master's first words were not taped.]

This is what man has been made for by God: that he should know everything. // In all the scriptures (written) by all the Masters it has been stressed by all of them that man is to be perfect. // What kind of perfection? As our Father God is perfect in His holy heavens. // In Genesis also, in the Old Testament it has been given: "God made man in His own image; in His own image made He him." // A child, born to a king, also becomes a king. // As God was complete and perfect, He is also now in His holy heavens. But this world has been given to the negative power and God is missing from this world. // For a long, long time there was no creation. God was in His own self and was enjoying His own self, perfection. // All His competencies were lying dormant with Him, but at a certain stage all this consciousness sprang up and it started creating the creation. // To create this creation, first His creative life principle was created which was in the form of the Word - sound. // Light came out of it and everything was created from the top to this bottom - the material. // God can be considered as 100% purity, 100% consciousness, // all knowledge, all wisdom, all competencies, all powers. // But downward these things of God became less and less, and inertness, material went on increasing. // This world is the lowest one in which there is only materialism. // Although everything is created from God but (with)in the different stages of its percentage of increase of negativity, this world is the lowest. // God is light, God is life. // When the people went to the moon, there was no life, there was only dust over there. // What is the use of that region which has no purpose? // The moon may have some purpose, the sun has some purpose, but this earth has a very, very special purpose. // To just serve that purpose, man has been created by God. In His own image He created His own self. // But man is both: of this world as animals, the lowest one, and also the highest in God. // When man is devoid of soul, it is only: "Dust thou art and to dust returneth". // Man's body cannot know if it is existing or not, if there is any problem, any difficulty, (or) if it has any efficiency. // But to some extent there are some powers which are also in the animals that man is using. // That is at the level of body, mind, and intellect. // Animals and birds have also their bodies, minds, and intellects. // But their bodies, minds, and intellects are not developed properly and they are in different stages of development. // Man is at the highest, top rank in the development of this materialism // under the control of body, mind, and intellect. // But man has really no knowledge (of) what is to be known by him. // The knowledge which we are having here in this world at the level of mind and intellect is next to nothing. // In this knowledge we have been able to live in little up and down conditions but we have never been able to get rid of sufferings, problems, worries, diseases, or death. // Where to eat and wherefrom we can arrange other facilities of life, that is not a very big problem. // The living beings of water, birds, and quadrupeds also go along with their life without any special difficulty. // But at the level of mind, intellect, and body, man could not solve the main difficulty which he has to solve. // He has really no knowledge (of) wherefrom I have come, what I am, what is my duty over here, what will happen after leaving the physical body, // who is my relative, who is my friend, why they are my relatives or friends, why there are enemies. // Although we have tried to develop our intellect very much, very much, have gone up to the moon and other planets, and have searched even every particle of our earth, // but our search has only been limited up to the material which is lifeless. // That life (of) consciousness, which is itself working, which is real (and) we can enjoy, has not been started. // What is the quality of that man, or we may say the definition of that man who can be called a man? // In Genesis and in other scriptures I read that, "God made man in His own image. // In His own image made He him. Male and female created He them." // What is man? That is not body but that self which is of the same kind as that of God. // What has been added to it? That has also been added but it is not important. // "The flesh is more than the garments." // Our self is more than the flesh. // Now we have made our garments or our living beings over here, and we have also tried to know something about our body. // But even we have not been able to really diagnose our body. // Body has its three aspects: physical, astral, and causal. // Everything which is existing - maybe stones, maybe sand, maybe water, maybe trees, plants, or any living beings including the human beings - all have these three aspects. // They are interrelated. If we deal with one and don't deal with the other, neglect them, we will not find results - whatever we may go on trying. // The causal plane is named causal due to the reason that all causes - the effect of which is coming down to us - are over there in that causal plane. // All those actions which we might have done in past lives are stocked over there, the records are there, and we are to go through the effect of those actions now here. // Who is our friend? Why is he our friend? Who is our enemy? Why is he our enemy? The answer is over there. // If there is any accident or incident, we have suffered some losses, we have suffered some kind of diseases - the answer is there (in that plane) why all this has happened. // This is a chain. We are now bearing the fruit of some actions which we have done in the past, and later on we will have the fruit of the actions that we are doing now. This will be a continuous circle; it will go on, go on. // As per independent situation, there is no end to it. It will go on till infinity. // Our life will remain here in this world in the lowest phase which is only (of) sufferings, problems, worries, diseases, and death. // Although there is sometimes day but it is again followed by night. // Sometimes we are not ill or we are getting rid of some disease but again we are subject to any kind of very hard disease. // So, this world of ups and downs, ups and downs is continuously going on. In these ups and downs we do not know what kind of up or what kind of down is awaiting us. // So, my dear, I am sorry to say that our life is like a person who is standing in the wilderness where there is every kind of danger of all beasts and dacoits, robbers, or any other difficulties and problems. // Is there anybody in this world - maybe any agency - who can say that there will be no difficulty, no problem? // At least I could not find (anyone) as yet. // There is no one - no agency, no angels, no kings, no emperors - (who) could find, and nobody will be able to find and nobody could help or can help us. // Then is (it so) that we are to go through this cruelty? // It is the condition of prisoners. Prisoners are not dealt (with) so hard but we are dealt with really so hard. // We may be kings of the whole world, but what does it profit a man? // "Uneasy lies the head that bears a crown." // They are also suffering in the same way as we are suffering diseases, problems, worries, (and) sufferings. // Even in the three worlds, the astral and causal beings are also suffering as we are suffering in this world. // But this is the reason that man has been made: that man is to come out of sufferings and also to create such an atmosphere that no one is suffering. // I think on the 1st of June I was travelling, I was coming here, and there was a newspaper, "USA Today". // On the very first page there was very good information about some questions which the US people want to solve. // I was pleased to read that about 67% of the US people need to know what is the purpose of life. // Thank God! Thank God // that this question has risen in us: what is the purpose of human life. // But in my opinion there is no one (who is asking this question) // because if anybody had this question, they would try to solve this question. // I had been struggling hard for 23 years to solve this question. // All scriptures and all Masters who had come had very declaredly given the solution to this problem: "You are to be perfect." // There is no peace anywhere - (not) even in these three worlds: physical, astral, and causal. It is only with God and the kingdom of God that there is all Godly kind of life. // Those, who have known all this from the top to the bottom, have reached at the proper conclusion. // I am really very sorry to say that we are very learned, very, very big orators, engineers, medical people, and (have) so many other knowledges but we could not do anything good. // The whole world is drowned in the great Pacific Ocean of sufferings, // but when they are asked, "Come out of this ocean of sufferings and then you will find something good," they do not like (to), // and the problem will not be solved. // The Masters have told, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, // and all these things shall be added unto you." // What are these things? Which you want. // In the kingdom of God there is nothing which will not be available to you. Just "ask and it shall be given unto you." "Seek and ye shall find it." You are not to struggle. // In this world there is a very, very well-known aphorism that, "Life here is not a bed of roses; it is a continuous struggle," and I can add something more: "and will end in struggle". // It is totally hopeless; there is nothing which we can do in our favour. // In this ocean of brackish water you may search for sweet water, for a drop even, (but) you will not find (it). // Never is any knowledge, any wisdom, any peace, any friendship, (or) any love to be found from the situation of this world. // You have brought this with you, and you are to find that from your own self. Then you can enjoy (that) and then you can also share (it) with others. // So we are really to work as God here in this world. As God is really keeping all His kingdom of God in a wonderful state, we are also to act like this. // It has been told to us that, "This body is the temple of God in which the spirit of God lives." // We, as soul, consciousness, are also inside the body. // "Your soul bears the seal of God. It belongs to God. Give it unto God!" // "The kingdom of God cometh not by outside observation; it is within you." // Then God is also within you. // Then what is there good, nice, wonderful which is not with you? // So, God had done such a big, such a great favour to us that we may not have to search for anything outside. Everything is just (that) you look inside (and) it is there. // Every kind of competency is there with us (so) that we can do anything as we like. // In his satsangs my Master used to say that, "You are the child of God who created numberless planets in the time of the twinkling of an eye." // "God made heavens and earth. He spoke and it was done." // Then he was saying that, "Can't you create one world of this kind? It is the smallest, it is the lowest." // But my dear, we can certainly, 100% do (this) but not as body, mind, and intellect // because we are not having any relation to that God self through the body, mind, and intellect. They are only created by the lower power which is called the negative power (so) that we may be able to live in this world of animals. // Again I am sorry to say that all these three things are there only to make us suffer. // If mind is taken out of us, very much suffering will be taken out. // The animals, birds, and the living beings of water have got very little mind, so they are not having anxieties and are going along with their life very, very peacefully. // If our body is also taken away from us and we are allowed to live with our soul, then can you imagine (that) there can be any difficulty, problem, disease, or suffering for us? // So, my dear, this is really the life that we are to find. We are to come out of this physical body and become soul and try to live in the kingdom of God. // If there is the kingdom of God within us - you are well-learned, you know very well - how can you live? Can you live in the kingdom of God with your body? // Because the kingdom of God is of that standard of which God Himself is - 100% pure self. There is no materialism over there. // Anything which is opposite to it cannot be accepted // and also should not be accepted because it will remain in its own worries, problems, (and) sufferings because it is made of sufferings and will create problems and sufferings to others over there in the kingdom of God. // If your dirty child comes into your house, you will not bear it // because the dirty child will suffer dirtiness and also will make all of our house unclean. // So, it will create some problem. // So, you will have to clean it so that there is no dirtiness with it and it is as clean as all of you who are already living in the house. // We are to become souls and souls will be then admitted into the kingdom of God. // It is very clearly expressed in the scriptures that, "He who overcomes, to him I will give powers to rule over the nations," // because you will be then good children of God. // You would have felt that if a father has two sons, the father will hand over the keys of the house to the one who is very gentle (and) very obedient. // The father will be very careful and will not hand over any authority of his house to the other child who is a gambler, a drunkard, and is going on with all negative things. // Now what is our condition? Are we not prodigal children of our great Father God? // Our Father cannot like us and cannot give any authority to us. // Why have we been debarred from our authority of entering into His kingdom which is our kingdom? // Father God is also in us but why are we not allowed to see Him? // All blessings of God are there with us, for us. Why are we not to enjoy (them)? // Because we are not as children of God anymore. We are only something else which is opposite to the child of God - mind, body, and intellect. // This is (what) we are to do: we are to overcome, come out of the body, mind, and intellect. // Then we will enter into the kingdom of God where there is then real life: "In Him was the life and life was the light of man." // I am sorry to say again that we are feeling like living over here and enjoying over here. // But can anybody live or enjoy in this world which is "the valley of death where evil rules with sufferings"? // Who is there to live in a graveyard? Who can enjoy in a grave? // Those are not meant for living beings; those are only meant for dead ones. // This world is only meant for bodies. Bodies may live in it but the human bodies which are containing soul are not to live as soul in this body. Souls are to live in the kingdom of God. // In all the scriptures and in reality also I have found that if there is life for man, it is only in the kingdom of God. // When a child is born, what is there? // Do we know what has come into our family? // We are very proud of that small body of a child. // But my dear, that is nothing to give us any credit or to please us. It is only a cause of sufferings. // Will it not bring sufferings? Some urine, some latrine system, some crying (are there), and you have to take care of the child. Does it bring some kind of pleasure or some kind of things (like) a one billion or a ten billion (dollar) cheque from the City Bank of America? // The child is suffering and has also created sufferings for you. // When we have two children, we don't like to have a third one because we cannot bear more sufferings. // But we are to be really happy because there is God (in that child). God has come to us // with His own kingdom. A soul has come with all 330 million angels. // Every good, wonderful and wonderful thing is there in that small body. // In that small body there is all microcosm (and) macrocosm. // Then what are you to nourish? // Are you to nourish only that body which is a cause of sufferings, problems, (and) worries or are you to nourish that great higher self, wonderful self which is really wonderful for all - for that child and also for the whole family? // Now, why did you not know these things before which I tell you? // Because from the very beginning of the world any human being who came into this world was like this. // But where lies our wisdom or knowledge? All this (which is) wonderful, wonderful, great and great is unknown, and a very small particle which is of all poison, all sufferings, all diseases, and all nastiness is there which we are very aware of. // We have not loved that goodness of man, and we have loved, hugged, and just accepted that horribleness of man. // In history (it is given and) I also know that the population of the human beings is a problem. // Any other living beings - maybe birds, maybe fish, maybe goats, sheep, or cows - are no problem. // Why are human beings a problem? Why are they not wanted? // When I have to come to some country - maybe USA or any other country - I will have to get permission, a visa; otherwise nobody will allow me (to enter) because I am a human being. [Laughter] // Is this the credit of a human being? // My dear, we have degraded ourselves because we have only come as demanders. // Body is a demander - to eat something, to live upon - and mind is a demander to have everything - whatever is there in the world. // Whenever we go to our relatives and friends, they are in a puzzle: "What to do with this person? What to give him to eat or to drink, or what to give him that he may feel easy?" // No doubt, we have to have some relatives, friends, and family members but these are also big problems. // If you have your pet cat or pet dog, just give it some food to eat (and) it will be okay, // but it is impossible to please your children even, your relatives, or friends // because man is a great demander. We cannot fulfill the demands of our own selves, our relatives, friends, or any other people who come to us. // It is a proverb that an apple is a source of contempt between two children. // If there is one apple, there can be discord between the two children // because the apple is one and the demanders are two. // But you would have also seen that there can be a bag of apples. // Even a bag of apples can become a source of discord // if every child wants to have a full bag. // This is mind. // Body needs one or two apples // but mind needs a full shop. // Then how to satisfy mind and how to live in this world with a little peace - a little peace even? // I have also lived in this world for about 70 years // and have contacted so many kinds of people (from) almost every country of the world even but I could not find anybody who could be peaceful. // I have really come to the conclusion that all the elderly Masters have really told the truth that there is no condition that we can have any peace, goodness, happiness, or any enjoyment in this world // and that this world is full of sufferings. // Either we are directly suffering or we are collecting sufferings for the future and we have little relief over here. // Sometimes we are really eating some kind of poison which is really bitter, // and we suffer from its effect also. // But sometimes we are given some kind of very sweet poison (which) we enjoy eating, // and we have to suffer its consequences later on. // Then is this latter kind of poison useful for us? // This is the charateristic of the materialism of this world. // Everything is sweet (and) very nice but, my dear, all is poisonous, so hard, so hard (and) you will only come to know that when you will have to go through the consequences. // All these words of wisdom which are in the Bible or other scriptures or (are told) by Masters are not from any human mind or intellect. They are directly from God. // "As He spake through the mouth of His holy prophets who have been since the world began." // God has tried to explain to us what is life, where we are to find it, and where we are to enjoy. // However when we will be awakened in our own soul, we will find all this from our own self // because anybody who goes inside as soul in the kingdom of God finds everything to enjoy and finds all knowledge, wisdom, and competencies also to live in this world. // We are connected with the highest lifeline of God which is enjoyable, which we can enjoy while living in this world. // Even now we are living only from this world (and) we have to find the light and heat of the sun. // This world is totally lifeless and dark. // If there is any life in the plants, in any small insects, animals, or in us, that is coming from God which is consciousness. // We live upon this. We eat food which is living food, and from the living food we are living. Otherwise we cannot live on wood, stones, or sand. // Life is in us directly, // as Master has told (when) God was talking in him, "I am the bread of life, I am the water of life. Eat me and drink me!" // This God is there with you in the form of light and sound. // You are also awakened as a small source of light and sound in the form of a drop of a great ocean. // But you are to be nourished that you become the same as (that of which) you are the child. // The child of a king is born dependent, // but when nourished in the home of the king by the king, after 20, 25, or 30 years he will become a full fledged king. // In a similar way, our soul is to be nourished in the physical body. So the physical body is to be nourished, our mind is also to be taken care, intellect is also to be given some knowledge of this world because we have to be a living being in this world. // (It is) as (when) we have a pet dog or pet cat in our family which are not very important but still are to be taken care (of). // But it is not acceptable that you only feed your cat or pet dog and you do not have anything for yourself. What will be your fate then? // So what are you? That is first to be known. We are not body, we are not mind, we are not intellect. We are keeping these for a purpose. // If you ask a king, ("What are you?"), he will say, "I am a king." // He is also the husband of a wife, he is the father of his children, (and) he is the son of his mother and father. It is also there. But when he is asked, "What are you?", then he will not relate any other relation. He will only tell what is at the top. // If you are asked, "What are you?", then you are also not to say, "I am body. I am the father of two children. I am the son of my parents. I have two brothers, two sisters, or something in this world." // Then of necessity you have to say, "I am a child of God. I am soul. I am a living being of the kingdom of God, and I am enjoying over there." // If somebody asks you, "Why have you come over here then?", // (you are to answer,) "God is God in His holy heavens but now God has sent me over here (so) that I may create the same kind of situation as God has created in His holy heavens (so) that this world is also enjoying the same." // What I am saying to you is very true. It is not (that only) I am saying (this but) all the scriptures you may go through are telling the same truth very, very clearly, vividly. // But why have you not understood it? // There is something (about) which I should not go into detail now (but) perhaps on some (other) day. But there is something wrong in our lifestyle that we are still suffering. // But we are God and we are all holy. We are all beauty, glory, knowledge, light, life, enjoyment, the source of every good thing, and (are) to supply everybody (with) the same thing as we have got for ourselves. // This, your own self, is awakened by the Master. This is called "initiation". // The soul, which is lying dormant in your body, is taken out of the body and brought over here at the third eye center. [Master points to his forehead.] // (It is) as (when) you take out a drowned person from the water, also take out the water from his belly, give him some kind of breathing, and he will begin to live. // The same is the position of the Master. He brings you out of the world and also the body and brings you over here [Master points to the third eye center] where there is the gateway of the kingdom of God, // where (Saint) Matthew also says, "If your eye be clean, your whole body shall be full or light." // Light is our life. // There we begin to live our own life in the kingdom of God which is our kingdom because God is not separate from us. // We will be raised up to Him, will become like Him, and can also say, "I and my Father are one." // So we have really condemned ourselves. Nobody had done anything wrong to us. It is only we who have not helped ourselves. // I had been travelling 23 years and trying to reach every person. I have also reached so many persons and have also awakened so many persons but further they did not understand it and did not work upon it. // This plant of life was planted in you and it was (to) grow. You could find some light (and) you could also come in contact with some sound. But further you did not work upon it and it remained as it was. // Is there no arrangement? Is it hard to nourish our soul? // You are to provide nothing for the soul. You are only to just withdraw your attention from the world outside. Just close your eyes and attend here [Master points to the third eye center] and Master is already there. // Just ask the Master that you want to see, you want to hear, and you will find. // The holy sound and the holy light is the wonderful food from God for us, as soul. // Go on enjoying it, go on enjoying it, and you will go on becoming God. // Then your outer body, mind, and the outer worldly life will also be taken care of by the Master power. // My Master also used to say that, "If you do one work which I have given to you, I will do 100 of your worldly businesses for you." // If there are millions and millions of difficulties and problems and you sit in meditation on sound or light maybe for one hour, two hours, or three hours, when you will wake up, you (will) find (that) all the difficulties and problems are just very, very minimal. // I remember I was in Sweden and there was an initiation. After initiation I asked the people what they could see. // All the people told me (that they) could find something to see and something to hear and could enjoy also. // But one person stood up and said, "I am feeling really released of all the tensions and problems which I had before my initiation." // Sometimes after initiation, I ask the people who could find love, peace, fragrance, or satisfaction inside to show their hands. // Everything that you need, your family needs, your country needs, or your world needs, that is there with you in plenty. // We search for love and peace, fragrance, or sweetness from outside. Sometimes it may be available; otherwise these are not. // But oceans and oceans of every kind of wonderful blessings are there lying dormant in us. There is nobody to use (them). // I have not come to you just to teach you something, tell you something, but to make you something. // That is the only way that I am useful: if you find something useful, you are really enjoying, and you have come out of sufferings, problems, worries, diseases, and death. // I don't accuse or blame any people who have been initiated 10 years, 12 years, 15 years, or 20 years back but from now on they should plan their schedule of life - that what they are to become. // What is the purpose of life? What is the aim of life? Can we end our sufferings? Can we end our problems, worries, or diseases? // (The answer) I have told you (is) "yes". // I have given you that medicine of holy light and sound which is from God (and) which is the solver of every kind of problem. // You can also help the angels, help the devils, the evils, (and) help every living being in the creation of Lord God. // You are (like a) sun (and) you are to enjoy your own light but you are also to supply to all the planets around it, // although there are not so many people (in this city), there are few people. Miami's population is quite a big population but I don't need so much population, so many (in) number (to do this work). One sun is sufficient to enlighten the whole world. // There are some people who are from Europe. They will go back and will enlighten Europe. There are some people from New Zealand. They will enlighten New Zealand. There are some people who are from other countries. They will enlighten their own countries at least. // But if you are yourself blind, // you yourself are in darkness, how can you help others? // But hasn't God given you that eternal life, unlimited light, and life? // Has God not made you God? // Are you not to become God? // It means you do not like to enjoy. // If there is water, take water and quench your thirst and you will be coming out of this problem. // But this blessing which has been given to us by God is to solve every kind of problem. // So, my dear, there is nothing to worry (about). As human beings, we can solve all the problems of the world even. // I am talking of the problems of the world especially because especially nowadays the world is very interconnected and if we are to enjoy, we can only enjoy if the whole world is in peace. // Otherwise a fire at my neighbour's house will come to my house also. // If I am to be safe from the fire (and) my house is not to be burnt, I (will) have to take care of my surroundings. // But don't worry. God has given you every kind of authority to help everybody in His creation. // But, my dear, I have verified myself the simple instructions that have been told to you, and I have confirmed that these are really working. If you work upon these, they will really work. // So now today I feel like stopping here. Further information will be given to you by the management. // So, I thank you for your kind presence. I could enjoy. Again in the evening I will like to enjoy you. //
